Benefits of technology

[0010]According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a zoom lens having the entire compact lens system, a wide field angle, a high zoom ratio, and high optical performance over the entire zoom range.

Problems solved by technology

However, if the refractive power of each lens unit is simply enhanced for realizing a wide field angle and a high zoom ratio with a small size of the entire system of the zoom lens, for example, aberration variation due to zooming increases so that it becomes difficult to obtain high optical performance over the entire zoom range.
Therefore, in order to obtain a desired retractable length, a complicated lens barrel structure is required.
If the number of lenses constituting each lens unit is increased, the total lens length in the retracted state increases so that it becomes difficult to downsize the camera.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a zoom lens, which is suitable for an image pickup apparatus, such as a digital still camera, a video camera, and a TV camera.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]In recent years, an image pickup apparatus (camera) using a solid-state image pickup element, such as a video camera and a digital still camera has been downsized and developed to have high-performance. Then, due to the downsizing and high-performance of the image pickup apparatus, an optical system used therefor is required to include a wide field angle and to be a small zoom lens with a high zoom ratio, a large aperture ratio, and high optical performance. This type of camera includes various optical elements such as a low pass filter and a color correction filter disposed between the lens rearmost part and the image pickup element. Therefore, the zoom lens used for the image pickup apparatus is required to have a rel...
